1. Preservation Month 2014: New Age of Preservation: Embark, Inspire, Engage.
May is Preservation Month! As in years past, the National Trust for Historic Preservation encourages preservation and Main Street organizations to use this month-long opportunity to showcase how they are celebrating and saving historic places year-round. This year's theme, "New Age of Preservation: Embark, Inspire, Engage," is meant to excite your current supporters and introduce new audiences to the work you're doing to enrich and preserve the places that make your community special.
The list of Preservation Month activities is as endless as your imagination. But here are a few ideas to get you started.
Embark
Community Service Opportunities: Possible projects might include a clean-up day at a local house museum or along a historic Main Street. Consider partnering with other local nonprofit organizations in your area to sponsor the event. This will allow you to forge new relationships to build on in the future and will also provide an opportunity to attract new volunteers that may not be familiar with your organization or site.
Inspire
Demonstration Projects: Many people who own a historic property enjoy learning more about restoration techniques and new products. Consider hosting lectures, workshops, or demonstrations for historic homeowners. Topics might include how to select appropriate paint colors, proper methods to repair older windows, plant choices for historic garden styles, or ideas for improving energy efficiency in older homes.
Engage
Special Events: Host a walking tour, wine tasting at a historic site, open house, living history events, and special exhibits for your members and potential new members and supporters. Sponsor a photography contest and post the photos on your website or ask folks to send in letters about their favorite local landmark. Don't forget to take advantage of social media. Encourage attendees to use Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter to share photos and spread the word. The official hashtag for Preservation Month 2014 is #presmonthhttps://twitter.com/search?q=%23presmonth&src=typd .
While this year there is no formal Preservation Proclamation, we encourage you to write your own, and share your events using the hashtag.

2. Networking, food on Oregon Heritage Conference menu
Do you have an affinity for history, collections care, historic places or economic development? Do you like to eat? If you do, the Oregon Heritage Conference April 23-25 in Albany will be a great place to combine food with casual conversation and networking with people who have similar interests as yours.
The Conference's special affinity lunches on two days will bring together colleagues from around Oregon wanting to share information, ideas, questions and a bite to eat. You will be able to bite into lunch and talk about these topics:
railroad heritage,
a possible Oregon rehabilitation tax credit,
an African American historic places survey,
military heritage,
Main Street, or
collections care issues.
The Oregon Heritage Conference will take place April 23-25 in historic downtown Albany with the theme of "Celebrate, Recreate, Invigorate." An engaging keynote talk, special tours, cutting-edge research expositions, and meeting colleagues from across the state are important benefits for attending. The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards will take place on the evening of April 24.
Some of the affinity lunches are scheduled for downtown restaurants that feature locally grown foods. The dates of the specific lunches are found on the Heritage Conference registration form that can be found at http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/Pages/Conference.aspx

3. Historic Preservation Field School in Astoria, Oregon
Clatsop Community College
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Lucien Swerdloff, 503-338-2301; lswerdloff at clatsopcc.edu
Title: Historic Preservation Field School in Astoria, Oregon - The Craft of Historic Buildings
Clatsop Community College announces its new summer Historic Preservation Field School to be held from June 16 to 19, 2014 in Astoria, Oregon. The Field School will consist of a series of hands-on workshops, visits to regional sites of historic significance, walking tours of historic Astoria, a boat tour of Astoria's Columbia River waterfront, and other opportunities to investigate local history and preservation activities. Presented through the college's award-winning Historic Preservation and Restoration Program, the summer Field School offers attendees the twofold opportunity of developing unique historic preservation skills while soaking up the atmosphere of the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains.
Situated near the mouth of the majestic Columbia River and just a few miles from where the Lewis and Clark Expedition spent the winter of 1805-1806, Astoria is Oregon's gateway to the Pacific. The area is also rich in natural and scenic beauty. Hundreds of Victorian homes dot the steep hillsides and a revitalized downtown takes visitors back to another era.
This four-day hands-on Field School introduces participants to the basic concepts of historic preservation. Students will earn two college credits and engage in the crafts of historic buildings, including woodworking, blacksmithing, stained glass design and repair, and repair and weatherization of historic windows. The planned schedule of workshops and activities includes:
* Monday 16 June -- an introduction to historic preservation, understanding and using woodworking tools, a trolley tour along Astoria's waterfront, and a walking tour of historic neighborhoods in Astoria.
* Tuesday 17 June -- stained glass workshop and an evening tour of the Norman Yeon house and site (a northwest regional style house located in the dunes of the Clatsop Plains).
* Wednesday 18 June - blacksmithing workshop and an evening tour of historic sites along the Washington side of the Columbia River.
* Thursday 19 June - historic window repair, glass cutting, and weatherization workshops and an evening boat tour on the Columbia River along Astoria's historic waterfront.
Participants will experience an engaging combination of hands-on Field School activities with customized tours of local historic resources. Workshops and tours will be conducted by experienced and highly-qualified working artisans, historians and preservationists. Tuition, fees and supplies for the Field School total $575. Space is limited so early registration is encouraged. Registration opens in May 2014 at www.clatsopcc.edu/register or call 503-338-7670. Information on housing options, restaurants and other local activities and events is available through the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce at www.travelastoria.com.
